Thanks for the comments guys, for those requesting for a fairy godmother, that would make the story a fantasy with all the magic stuff but i don't want to do fantasy so we might not need a fairy, but who knows, somethings might change along the line right? We shall see if we will be needing her or not.

Henry had just stuck one leg into the window of his room while the other was outside, he quickly waved to his friend before sticking the other into the room and finally, he jumped down into his room.

Great! He was back in his room without his parents suspecting he had been out all night.

He sighed and was walking to the bathroom when the light of his room came on suddenly, startling him  and sitting on his bed was his mother, the queen.

“Oh, hi, hi mum.”

Porsha sighed, “you this stupid boy! Where have you been all night?”

“Mum, I..um...” He started but stopped as he realized he never had any lies planned ahead.

“What are you doing Henry? What exactly is your problem? What did you lose that you have been trying to find? What do you want from your father and I for God’s sake?”

Henry sighed and walked towards the bed to take a seat beside his mother.

“Breathe mom.” He said, placing both hands on his mother’s shoulders.

“How can I breathe when you make me so worried son? What is wrong with you? I and your father have been planning on how to give you the perfect bride only for you to be sneaking around in the midnight. What is your problem? Are you going to be sneaking out for the rest of your life?”

“No mum, I don’t plan on doing that but look, I am just tired of the whole royal attention, I want to be ordinary, I want to marry who I want to marry not some robot

. “

His mother gasped, “what are you talking about now?”

“Ma, I love you and I appreciate everything you are doing for me but sincerely mum, you don’t need to go through all this problem just for me to get married.”

His mother frowned and said sternly, “Listen to me Henry Jacobson, this banquet is happening whether you like it or not and you will not shame your father and I by rejecting who we pick for you, do you understand?”

Henry sighed, “why is it so important that I get married so soon mum?”

“You are not getting married now Henry, we just want you to be responsible and have someone in your life, fall in love with her and then once you are crowned king you get married.”

Henry sighed, “I do not want all these mum, allow me to pick my own bride.”

“So what bride do you want to pick? Some maid’s daughter, or a cook’s daughter because I keep hearing all the nonsense you are doing in town, when did you become superman? Or are you not  the hero that has been fighting for the right of the poor all around, tracking down thieves that are stealing in the neighborhood and punishing them all around the town?”

Henry smiled, “you heard about me mum, you see, I am doing something good.”

“You are being stupid and thank God that no one recognizes you as the prince because I don’t understand what shame you would have brought to the kingdom by your stupid acts!”

“But I am doing something good mum....”

“No, you are doing something terrible! Acting like someone from a poor family and if someone had recognized you, I wonder what everyone would be saying.”

“Mum, I am helping the poor and defending the weak with my friend...”

‘I do not care Henry! What I care about is your future! You are going to get a bride soon and I swear if you make me regret everything I am doing.....” She stopped and stood up, leaving the room.

Henry groaned, and then he put his hand in his pocket and brought out his phone. He dialed a number and his friend’s face appeared on the screen.

“Peter, are you home?”

“Yea, your guards chased me, thought I was a thief.”

Henry chuckled, “if they had caught you I would have pretended never to have known you!”

“You are the most horrible friend ever!” Peter replied and they both laughed, “Idiot!”

“I found my mum in the room, it appeared she has been waiting for me, God knows how long she has been doing that!”

“Wow! You are in a deep shit bro! So what happened?”

“She is going ahead with the banquet whatever...”

“You serious/”

“Yea and she really wants me to be serious about it you know she called me by my full name...Henry Jacobson!”

His friend gasped, “oh shit! That is terrible! There is no going out of it is there?”

“No Peter, I don’t think so but I think I need to come up with a plan.”

“What plan?”

“I don’t know yet but I will.”

Synder watched from where she cleaned the floor as the tailor measured Katrina. She wondered how many cloths she would be making this time. she could see the tired look on Katrina’s face while Pauline sat, ignoring her tired look.

All of a sudden the door bell rang and Mr.Charles, the butler answered the door.

“Miss Katrina, your etiquette coach is here.” Mr. Charles announced.

“Oh for the love of God!” Katrina shouted.

“Shut up! You shouldn’t be talking like that! What kind of a lady will that make you? Your coach really has a lot to do .”

“I am not even done with my clothes.” Katrina cried, “and this last gown is really important.”

“You can go meet your coach, Synder!”

Synder heard her name and approached her step-mother, “yes mother.”

“Madam, please measure this girl instead, I think they have almost the same stature, except that Katrina is taller, but you know her length don’t you?”

“Yes, sure, I will measure her instead, Miss Kat can go.”

Katrina heaved a sigh of relief and quickly gave Synder a hug, “thank you for doing this,” then she left with the coach while Synder took her place, to get measured for a cloth, that would never be hers.
